By releasing version 2.0 preview, DevToys is finally a cross-platform app that also works on Linux and macOS!
DevToys is a free and open-source tools for developers. It features a set of offline tools all in one app window. They include:
Since version 2.0, it also supports extensions. So users can create their own tools and share with the community. See the introduction page
The release also introduced a command line tool, allows advanced users to do all supported operations in terminal or command console. And, the CLI is installed as a separate package.
Other new features added in DevToys 2.0 include:
There are as well single-line and multiline-line text input, smart detection support in text input controls, and various other improvements in the release. See Github releases page for more changes.
The new release provides official .deb
packages and portable tarball for Linux, which are available to download at the link below:
For the command line tool, select download either devtoys.cli_linux_x64.deb
for AMD/Intel platform or devtoys.cli_linux_arm.deb
for ARM devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi).
And for graphical tool, download either devtoys_linux_x64.deb
for AMD/Intel, or devtoys_linux_arm.deb
for ARM. Then, install by running command in terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T):
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/devtoys_linux*.deb
NOTE: The 2.0 preview package supports Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04. In my case, it does NOT launch in Debian 12 and Fedora 40 due to missing run-time libraries.
In Ubuntu, it has launching issue due to permission issue. By starting from a terminal window, you’ll see the following error:
bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied ** (DevToys:17289): ERROR **: 00:35:39.254: Failed to fully launch dbus-proxy: Child process exited with code 1 Aborted (core dumped)
To workaround it, simply run as root via sudo devtoys
command.
To remove DevToys installed via .deb package, use command:
sudo apt remove --auto-remove devtoys
